Happy Monday! We are officially in the Christmas holiday season!! You don’t even know how happy I am!
Christmas is such a fun, joyous time for many. It’s a season of love, a season of giving, and of course, the season to celebrate the birth of our Savior.
As a child growing up, I absolutely LOVED this time of year because it was filled with lots of Christmas activities: me being in the church’s and school’s Christmas plays, caroling in the neighborhoods and nursing homes with the youth choir at my church, Christmas arts and crafts, Christmas movies, parents driving my brother, my sister, and myself to go see Christmas lights, going to pick out our Christmas tree, Christmas parties, giving gifts, receiving gifts, and the list just goes on and on and on! You see why I love it soooooo much?!
So on this week’s blog, I have created an updated Christmas Activities list that you can enjoy with your family. Go ahead and check them out below:
